  5. Respiration • The chemical reactions that break down nutrient molecules in living cells to release energy.

  6. Sensitivity • The ability to detect or sense changes in the environment (stimuli) and to make responses.

  7. Growth • A permanent increase in size and dry mass by an increase in cell number or cell size or both.

  8. Reproduction • The processes that make more of the same kind of organism.

  9. Excretion • The removal of toxic materials; the waste products of metabolism (chemical reactions in cells including respiration) and substances in excess of bodily requirements.

  10. Nutrition • The taking in of nutrients and minerals, containing raw materials or energy for growth and tissue repair.

  11. Summary • Movement • Respiration • Sensitivity • Growth • Reproduction • Excretion • Nutrition
